onclick="replyToCmt("11448919","johnny5");"

Surprisingly, you cannot use double-quotes within double-quotes, because that confuses the browser. Please change this code to:

onclick="replyToCmt('11448919','johnny5');"

You know how i figured that out? I didn't even have to use firebug. It's a nice little thing called 'View Source'. You should try it sometime...

End rant.

Of course once the second battery runs out, you have to run for mains power for re-juicing, but will probably cover 99% of scenarios of "oh noes, my batt is flat", unless travelling out in the remote somewhere for extended periods.]]>Apr 5th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/supercharger-solar-panel-promises-to-give-freeloader-a-boost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/supercharger-solar-panel-promises-to-give-freeloader-a-boost/
After seeing the first unit fail, I decide to test my friends. Well it did about the same thing but this time I saw what made the pop sound. While charging a device, I saw a spark in the USB socket of the freeloader and smelled the odor of burning plastic. After this the freeloader would not longer charge devices.

It seems that the freeloader battery pack can overload when charging devices. I may have thought this to be an isolated problem but it happened with two different units. This could be dangerous if the pack were in a bag or something during charges.

I would not recommend the freeloader to anyone...in fact if they all have potential to fail the way mine did, then they should be pulled from the market. ]]>Jun 21st 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/supercharger-solar-panel-promises-to-give-freeloader-a-boost/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/04/supercharger-solar-panel-promises-to-give-freeloader-a-boost/

It's not huge, but I think you can probably get even smaller ones now. Just waiting for the solar powered iPhone to come out!]]>Apr 5th 2009 5:51AM
